A considered search for business-critical appointments.

The most important appointments are rarely made through advertising alone. We work closely with boards, founders, investors and leadership teams to understand the business context behind the brief – including strategy, culture, growth plans, stakeholder expectations and the change the new leader will be expected to deliver.


That insight shapes a focused search that reaches proven leaders, including people who are not actively applying for roles.

Our Executive Search Approach.

Define the brief

We explore the organisation, leadership challenge, success measures and candidate proposition before agreeing the search strategy.


Map the market

We identify relevant organisations, sectors and leadership profiles using research, trusted networks, LinkedIn Recruiter and targeted market intelligence.


Approach and engage

Davina leads discreet, credible conversations with potential candidates, representing your opportunity with care and protecting confidentiality throughout.


Assess thoroughly

We evaluate track record, leadership style, values, motivations and the person’s ability to deliver against the agreed brief – not simply their job title or CV.


Manage the appointment

We support selection, interviews, stakeholder alignment, referencing, offer negotiation and resignation risk through to a successful start.



Stay close after placement

Structured follow-up with both client and candidate supports integration, early impact and long-term retention.
